Abstract:		 Watching brief during the ground works for the investigation of mine workings and other geotechnical site investigations. The site is centred on a part of the former New Cooks Kitchen sett one of the most significant mines in the Camborne-Redruth Mining District. The 1877 OS map shows it to have been occupied by New Cooks Kitchen Mine. Evidence for at least two phases of mining was identified. The earliest features encountered were a trench-form linear mine working that followed the trend of the local lodes with two small shafts or lode back pits and a stope dipping to the northeast exploiting the lode at depths greater than 4m. These works appear to be 18th century in date (if not earlier). Named as 'Brea Audit A Tin Work'. A second phase of mining seems to be represented by the shaft at the north western end of Trench 3 which lay beyond the northern edge of the openwork. This appears to be on the line of a run of documented shafts lying roughly mid way between Cooks Kitchen Mine, East shaft (MCO54884) and the unnamed shaft at SW 66511 40770. These shafts seem to have been sunk to work the lode at depth by intercepting its strike, which lies to the north-west. These shafts appear to be disused on the 1880 OS map, suggesting a probable late 18th or early 19th century date for this activity. No evidence for the buildings or reservoir associated with New Cook's Kitchen Mine was identified, though a possible leat that may have fed the reservoir was recorded. It is assumed that the buildings and reservoir were removed during a phase of site clearance during the 20th century.
